Bad Directions chords by California

G
I always take the back roads
          G
Leave the traffic to everyone else
Em      D        C
I can't take the clamor of the crowd
     C        C/B    D
I'll take the scenic route
             G
Talkin' on tomorrow
  G
Tonight's only halfway done
  Em        D     C
I never was to be hurried about
C       C/B       D
Please, just slow down

      C                 C/B            Am
And I know we all start out with bad directions
C                   C/B               Am
Don't give up, 'til now we've made it through
          Bm                  Em
'Cause it makes you more like them
        Bm                   Em
When you give them what they want
    Bm      A#m    Am
The need to please them
      D
Is to belong


                G
Boom box on the dashboard
    G
St. Christopher on a chain
Em      D           C
Head up north, back east, down south
    C          C/B     D
Out West we'll drive it down
              G
Roads turn to gravel
G
Some are paved quite well
         Em      D               C
Some are even at odds with their address now
C           C/B   D
Caught in a roundabout


      C                 C/B            Am
And I know we all start out with bad directions
C                   C/B               Am
Don't give up, 'til now we've made it through
          Bm                  Em
'Cause it makes you more like them
        Bm                   Em
When you give them what they want
    Bm      A#m    Am
The need to please them
                  D
Is just what they want


Solo:
G     G    G    G
Em    D    C
C     C/B  D


                   G
Take the road less traveled
    G
And fold all the maps away
       Em          D          C
Put it all in that unfinished novel someday
  C        C/B D
A postcard, anyway
D
Anyway...


      C                 C/B            Am
And I know we all start out with bad directions
C                C/B            Am
We get lost, somehow we make it through
         C               C/B
'Cause I may not know my streets
              Am
But I know my directions
     C                 C/B            D
Come on, we'll go out across these avenues


End on:
G
